Integrate Opsgenie with XL Release
What does Opsgenie offer XL Release users?
Opsgenie’s XL Release integration triggers Opsgenie notifications as part of your release process. Opsgenie acts as a dispatcher for these notifications and determines the right people to notify based on on-call schedules– notifies via email, text messages (SMS), phone calls, and iPhone & Android push notifications, and escalates alerts until the alert is acknowledged or closed.
Functionality of the integration
Integration is enabled and disabled through a plugin in XL Release.
When an alert is triggered from a release in XL Release, an alert is created in Opsgenie.
When the alert is closed in XL Release, the corresponding alert is closed in Opsgenie.
When the alert is snoozed in XL Release, the corresponding alert is snoozed in Opsgenie.
Add XL Release integration in Opsgenie
If you're using Opsgenie's Free or Essentials plan or if you’re using Opsgenie with Jira Service Management's Standard plan, you can add this integration from your team dashboard only. The Integrations page under Settings is not available in your plan.
Go to Teams and select your team.
Select Integrations on the left navigation and then select Add integration.
Adding the integration from your team dashboard will make your team the owner of the integration. This means Opsgenie will assign the alerts received through this integration to your team only. Follow the rest of the steps in this section to set up the integration.
